Shiina Tatsuki clenched her hands nervously, her eyes filled with regret.

"I feel jealous when I see you and Aine getting along well, and I feel unhappy when I see you praising other girls. That's probably how I feel, right?"

"I want Tomori to pay more attention to me, but that's actually a selfish request."

It was precisely because she knew this so clearly that she dared not speak her true thoughts, for fear of being disliked by Tomori. However, she failed to deceive Tomori once again, and that was the more fatal part!

"Jealousy, unhappiness, wanting to see Lixi more?"

"Yes, this is a very... selfish thought of mine."

Tomori, hearing her say that, would probably think she's a selfish girl, right? Even if she's disliked, that's normal...

Gao Songdeng's brain raced as she tried to understand the meaning behind Li Xi's words, but she had to admit that this kind of thing seemed a bit too advanced for her...

Instead of dwelling on it and getting lost in your own thoughts, it's better to directly ask Lixi how she feels.

Anyway, they've already agreed on a relationship, and they'll never deceive or hold anything back from each other!

Why is Lixi... feeling jealous? Why is she unhappy?

The gray-haired girl innocently and doubtfully voiced the doubts hidden in her heart.

"Why? Yes, why?"

Why do I want Tomori to notice me more? Why do I feel emotionally affected and wronged when I see Tomori being nice to other girls?

Shiina Tatsuki knew there was actually a very straightforward answer, but she just didn't think about it, nor did she dare to.

If those two words were actually said, how would Tomori's relationship with her change?

With her consciousness remaining at this point, Shiina Tatsuki found it difficult to imagine what would happen next.

But running away is useless; the emotions hidden in her heart don't lie. Whether now or in the future, she will only grow to love Tomori more and more.

Shiina Ritsuki took a deep breath and finally made up her mind. She was finally going to convey her true feelings to Tomori.

"So many whys... well, of course it's because..."

"I like tomori."

It's just six words, but it feels like they weigh a ton when you say them.

After saying that, Shiina Riki felt her face heat up rapidly, and her beautiful, amethyst eyes darted away, not daring to look at the girl beside her.

"If you like me, of course I like Lixi too."

"I'm not talking about liking in the ordinary sense, Tomori."

Shiina Tatsuki blushed and emphasized it again.

Tomori really doesn't understand anything! That's why she doesn't want to say such cheesy things...

"If it's not liking in the ordinary sense, then what kind of liking is it?"

As Takamatsu Tō pondered, his expression became somewhat serious.

At this moment, she seemed to finally realize that Li Xi's feelings for her were really unusual.

My teacher once said that liking someone is a very mysterious and difficult-to-define feeling. It has different scopes for parents, friends, things, and lovers, and the specific feeling that liking someone refers to is also different...

"Li Xi's affection is for me..."

"What your lover likes?"

The concept in her mind became clear instantly, and Gao Songdeng's cute little face immediately flushed.

Becoming lovers with Lixi... she really hadn't thought about it!

"Lixi...do you want to be my lover?!"

Gao Songdeng spoke haltingly, but he still managed to utter the most crucial and important words.

"Huh? Becoming lovers? I... I haven't thought about it yet."

I just confirmed my feelings for Tomori, and now we're already talking about becoming lovers! Isn't this moving a bit too fast?

However, becoming Tomori's lover doesn't seem so bad, if Tomori is willing to agree...

Shiina Tatsuki had a strange feeling.

If I seduce Tomori into becoming my lover now, maybe I'll actually have a chance? After all, Tomori seems to know nothing.

"Shiina Tatsuki, how could you think like that? How are you any different from a con artist or swindler!"

If she really does that, the first person to look down on her will be herself.

"That's it..."

As Takamatsu Akari finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the station. Neither of them spoke again, just as a tram slowly approaching from afar ended the silence.

"Let's go home first, Tomori. You can't figure this out in a short time."

Shiina Tatsuki blushed, coughed, and then stepped onto the train.

Tomori has always wanted to become human, so learning how to recognize the emotion of liking is a required course, right?

"Well, I really can't figure it out right now." Takamatsu followed behind and also entered the tram.

But to Shiina Tatsuki's surprise, Takamatsu Akari took her hand.

The warmth of the gray-haired girl's palm caused the blush that had just faded to rise again.

"I can't say I fully understand what Lixi said or explained... but I do understand a little bit about what Lixi said about wanting to see more."

Despite the stares of passersby, she held onto Lixi's hand tightly, her face flushed, and refused to let go.

She wanted to meet Lixi's expectations!

"I don't want Lixi to be sad, because we agreed before that I would be Lixi's only real listener, so it's my duty to pay more attention to Lixi."

"Lixi, don't underestimate yourself. In my heart..."

"Lixi is Lixi, the one and only Lixi."

There's no need to compare her to anyone else. Ai Yin has her own merits, Xiang Zi has his own merits, and naturally, Li Xi also has her own unique merits.

As their hearts drew closer, she came to understand more and more about the real and tender side of Lixi.

With a sincere heart, caring about everyone, and urging everyone to move forward in the most direct and effective way, that is Lixi.

A responsible person!

Although Li Xi is not good at speaking, just like her, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, and everyone has their own shortcomings, so Li Xi's shortcomings are not fatal.

It is precisely because of its flaws that Lixi's strengths are so valuable!

"So, as long as Lixi is willing to speak up and talk to me, I will keep an eye on him!"

Takamatsu Teng revealed a sincere and earnest expression!

The tram lights flickered in and out of the tunnel, reflecting off their clasped hands. Their hearts pounded, as if they were about to burst from their chests.

How is this any different from a confession?

She looked down at the lamp and held her hand tightly. The warm touch made her feel both nervous and at ease, and her face flushed!

“Tomori…” Shiina Tatsuki called softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Thank you for saying that!"

Her eyes welled up with tears. She had never imagined that her imperfections would be so precious in Deng's eyes.

And what can she do in return for Tomori's thoughtfulness?!

She gently grasped the lamp's hand, feeling its warmth.

"During the Crychic era, when I first met you, I always felt that you needed to practice and keep improving, but after that stage..."

"I fell in love with Tomori's singing voice; Tomori's singing voice is the cry from my heart."

The messy notebook lyrics were scribbled and marked, and finally revealed the name and face of Shiina Tatsuki. Tomori sang out what was in her heart!

"The tram is about to arrive at the station. Passengers, please collect your luggage and belongings..."

The train's announcement came on, reminding passengers that they were about to arrive at the station. And in that instant, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly realized that their hands were still tightly clasped together.

"tomori, we've arrived."

Shiina Tatsuki reminded him. Even if it was hard to say goodbye, it was time for Tomori to get off at the next station.

On the platform, Takamatsu Touka slowly stepped off the tram, and then a night breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness.

At that moment, without thinking, Shiina Tatsuki took off his coat and draped it over Takamatsu Akari's shoulders.

"Lixi?" Gao Songdeng looked at her with some surprise.

"It's getting chilly at night, Tomori, don't catch a cold." Riki turned her face away, hiding her flushed cheeks.

"I'm wearing a lot of layers today, so I'm fine. You should go home now!"

"..."

Takamatsu Akari didn't answer, but simply tightened her coat, feeling the lingering warmth of Tatsuki's body. Finally, she suddenly stepped forward and gently hugged Shiina Tatsuki.

"Thank you, Lixi."

Her voice, muffled by her coat, was tinged with a sob and gratitude.

It's so great to have met Li Xi, and it's so great to have made up with her.

Gao Songdeng was incredibly grateful that on that ordinary afternoon, he and Ai Yin rediscovered Li Xi, which marked the beginning of the formation of the Mygo band.

"Hurry, let's go, the tram doors are about to close."

The countdown continued to play on the loudspeaker, and Shiina Tatsuki smiled as she released Takamatsu Akari's embrace.

She wasn't saying those things to Tomori today out of jealousy, absolutely not.

Tomori never marginalized her; in Tomori's heart, she held a special place.

For now, that's enough!

"I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, I will support you and protect you, Tomori."

As the train doors closed, watching Takamatsu Akari's retreating figure, Shiina Tatsuki made a promise in his heart!

Volume 2 continues! Chapter 123: Takamatsu and his daughter discuss love!

As night deepened after she left the tram station, Takamatsu Akari walked home alone.

A slightly chilly wind blew around me, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows at my feet. In the night sky, the moon was obscured by thin clouds, revealing only a hazy halo.

Perhaps without Lixi's coat, she would really feel a little cold?

Gao Song Deng tightened Li Xi's coat around his neck; it still retained Li Xi's warmth and faint fragrance—a very pleasant scent, like that of a bauhinia flower.

"Lixi likes me... but not in a normal way."

Classmate, friend, or lover... Takamatsu Todori had never seriously considered such a relationship; he had only thought about it superficially and naturally.

What are her relationships with each member of the band? Are they classmates, friends? Or crushes...?

Li Xi didn't just treat her as an ordinary friend.

"Liking someone...isn't that a very complicated feeling?"

With these mixed thoughts in mind, Takamatsu Akari walked to her front door and took out her keys. The key made a soft "click" as it was inserted into the lock. She pushed open the door, and the motion-sensor light in the entryway automatically turned on, casting a warm yellow glow on her. At the far end of the living room was her father's figure; her mother had already gone to work the night shift.

"Tomori, you're back? Have you had dinner?"

At that moment, Takamatsu Yuji, the father of the lamp, was watching TV in the living room. When he saw his daughter return, he immediately showed a loving smile.

"Yes, I've already eaten out."

"Dad, tell me... what kind of feeling is 'liking'?"

Without any preamble, Gao Songdeng went to the side of her closest person and directly voiced her innermost question.

As a mature adult with a wealth of experience, Dad should know more than she does!

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?!" Yuji Takamatsu's eyes widened, somewhat surprised that such a question would come from Akari Takamatsu's mouth!

There's a problem! There's definitely a problem! But then again, Tomori seems to have reached the age where she should be asking questions.
